There has been several large companies try it and came up with the same end result, users would have to change habits and always have the phone where sun could hit it, thus no phones in purses,pockets indoors etc etc. no sun at night,

Back in 2009 Samsung introduced the Blue Earth phone—which featured a solar charger—but soon withdrew it. A Samsung spokesman says Blue Earth was a “limited production” phone that was never sold in the U.S. Nokia in 2012 abandoned a project to develop phones with a solar charger built into the back cover, saying it simply was not practical and demand was limited.[/quote

For the past two years, the companies have showed off a solar-powered phone prototype at annual mobile industry bash Mobile World Congress. The latest version of their device needs three minutes of sun in order to deliver one minute of talk time, and comes with an app to alert users about current charging conditions.
